Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen, coached by Erik ten Hag, is preparing for the 2025-26 Bundesliga season after finishing 3rd in 2024-25. Their pre-season has been mixed, with a 5-1 loss to Flamengo U20, a 2-0 win over VfL Bochum, and a 2-1 victory against Fortuna Sittard, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 2.5 goals conceded. Key players include Patrik Schick, Victor Boniface, and Malik Tillman, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Flekken; Arthur, Quansah, Tapsoba; Tella, Andrich, Palacios, Grimaldo; Adli, Boniface, Schick. Leverkusen’s strengths are their attacking depth and home form at BayArena, but Jeanuel Belocian’s injury and Granit Xhaka’s departure to Sunderland weaken their squad. They aim to build momentum before their DFB-Pokal match against Grossaspach.
Pisa SC
Pisa SC, led by Filippo Inzaghi, is gearing up for their 2025-26 Serie A season after earning promotion from Serie B, finishing 2nd in 2024-25. This is their first pre-season friendly, with no prior matches reported, though they’ve scored 9 goals in 3 internal training games, per. Key players include Isak Vural, Simone Scuffet, and Stefano Moreo, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Nicolas; Calabresi, Caracciolo, Bonfanti; Sernicola, Piccinini, Marin, Angori; Tramoni, Moreo, Lind. Pisa’s strengths are their new signings and attacking intent, but Pietro Baruatto and Daniel Denoon’s injuries limit depth. They aim to test themselves against top opposition.
Head-to-Head
This is the first meeting between Leverkusen and Pisa, per. Friendlies between Bundesliga and Serie A sides average 2.7 goals, with 60% over 2.5 goals and 50% both teams scoring (BTTS).
Predicted Score: Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Pisa SC
This friendly on August 5, 2025, at BayArena, Leverkusen, at 6:00 PM CEST (12:00 PM EDT), is Leverkusen’s season opener with over 18,000 tickets sold, including 300 from Italy, per. Leverkusen’s Schick and Boniface face Pisa’s Vural and Moreo, with Leverkusen’s home advantage and attacking quality (2+ goals in 3 of last 4 at BayArena) tested by Pisa’s new-look squad. Leverkusen are heavy favorites (-200 odds) over Pisa (+450), with a draw at +300, per. Trends (Leverkusen: 60% over 2.5 goals; Pisa: 100% in training games) suggest goals, but Leverkusen’s one clean sheet in six games and Pisa’s two clean sheets in nine away games lean toward a tight match, per. The 20°C evening should keep cards low. Leverkusen is likely to score through Schick, with Moreo possibly netting for Pisa. Leverkusen’s quality and home edge should secure a narrow win, but Pisa’s attacking form keeps it competitive
